John I mean that my pieces are signed something like H 828/140They dont have a / after the H like this one does. This one reads H/1334/53 - there is a slash after the H.None of mine have that. Do yours?m

Faked signatures seem to be the norm at the moment....hence my posting the Wedgwood/ Mats Jonasson thread.......and I see there is another with a lovely little bubble vase with a Tapio Wirkkaala (Spelling!?) signature.

I suppose in the end, it all comes down to knowing your glass, and hopefully, the ones with imprinted pontil marks will be genuine without doubt.

It beats me why they want to spoil a quality item by adding the false signature of a similarly valued item.....do you think this would devalue the original, or add to the value as a curious oddity??

Thanks a lot for your input, guys!I was still hoping that it would turn out to be some mistakenly applied pattern number, or that " H/ " is refering to someone/something different than Höglund.But to be honest I don't mind if it has the (fake) signature or not -- I was rather sure what it was when I bought it, the signature just added to my interest.

And it is quite discreet and well executed -- no ugly big "Tapio Wirkkala" or such scratched on the bottom like we have seen in obviously fake pieces on ebay :spls:
